OP-20-G Moves Forward
It was recommended that the proposed HFDF station operate as an individual station primarily for the purpose for which it was established and that no attempt be made to incorporate it into the North American HFDF Net or to have it guard German U-boat frequencies used in the North Atlantic. Due to the station’s exposed and vulnerable location, it was recommended the station’s classified holdings consist of the minimum amount of information necessary for the accomplishment of the station’s mission and a hazardous duty strip cipher.
On October 16, the State Department was requested to secure permission from the Norwegian government to establish the station. Prompt action was desired since it was necessary to establish the station prior to the close of navigation in December.
